The transformation taking child stars to adulthood can often be surprising – Jerry Maguire cutie Jonathan Lipnicki is practically unrecognisable these days while Home Alone’s Macaulay Culkin isn’t quite as sweet now he’s older.

Heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio (born 11 November 1974) showed talent from an early age and won his first Oscar nomination for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? in 1993.

His Hollywood career flourished and Leo proved a handsome romantic lead opposite Kate Winslet in the record-breaking 1997 film Titanic.

It’s not just actors and singers who grow up before our eyes – Prince Harry and Prince William have both matured in public and are now great ambassadors for the royal family.
